Hello

My wife and I are due to have our first child in November this year

Does anyone have any information about what can be claimed or changes to mine and my wifes personal tax circumstances (childcare vouchers, family allowance, changes to tax code or anything like that) once the child is born ? Is there anything else (other than start saving for Uni fees...) that I can take advantage of thats offered from the HMRC ?

I am not looking to sponge, just to claim for whats rightfully mine.

If anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks

Dave

there are lots of benefits - try the inland revenue website for starters

Nothing is 'rightfully' yours. You chose to breed and bring another human being into an already overpopulated world so the least you can do is pay for it.

i agree with the above! people should get nothing! if you choose to have a child then you and only you should pay for it!

your entitled to no sleep no time to yourself and messy nappies.


Congrats btw

NotoriousREV

Seeing as our kids will be paying for the services you'll be enjoying when you're worthless, non-contributing, dribbling, incontinent old *******, the previous 2 posters can **** right off.

(That's cyclepath and B9GLY btw, not watto52)

We need more children from people with a good work ethic and from traditional families. Otherwise the only people breeding will not be able to pay into the system to pay for us when we're old!

BTW, you can get child benefit and tax credits. Helps out as your wife will lose a good chunk of her income while she's bringing up the next generation of worker!

watto52

lol. thanks mate

B9GLY

you pay all your working life tax, national ins and pensions so that you can be kept when your an oap if needed!!!!!!

having a child and the goverment paying towards it is like me wanting a ferrari and asking for help paying for that!

p.s. dont tell me to **** off, i can have my view as much as you have yours, grow up abit hey!

watto52

FFS. the chaps missus is bringing in a new life, our future. Things nower days are expensive so why shouldnt we help?

Oh and hes basically claiming his taxes back.

druddle

Thanks for your really helpful post. Most enlightening. If you dont have something constructive to add then **** off and troll on someone elses thread.

I am not looking for anyone else to pay for anything, I am just asking if anyone knows what I (and you) are entitled to as a working taxpaying member of society.

There are lots of things that are rightfully mine in this world, and I want to make sure that I know what they are. I also appreciate you are entitled to an opinion but try engaging brain and reading/thinking before replying.

Many thanks and have a lovely Sunday evening

You're welcome. It was the least I could do for you and the privilege of telling you that you are a penny pinching ****** without enough respect for contraception is of course 'rightfully' mine!


Let's look at the rationale behind breeding benefit shall we... The benefit exists as a means to disuade scum who have had accidental babies from then binning them/starving them as a consequence of not having enough money. It was designed for scum and therefore, by definition, is claimed by scum.


Either you don't really need it (i.e. you can afford to feed your foetus) in which case you are a bludger.

OR...

You do need it (i.e. you can't afford to feed your foetus) in which case you are scum.


So there we have it.

Oh I will, you can be sure of that.

Hi

We now have a beautiful 11 week old daughter and we get £17.45per week in child benefit. This is given to every child that is born in the uk regardless of your income. We also get family tax credits as our income is just below the threshold provided your gross joint income is below £65,000. yes £65,000 a year !!!!

We get roughly £1,100 a year and anyone can claim this.

I see it as free money basically, and I pay my taxes so I don't feel guilty claiming this money.

To the two people who mentioned not bring children into the world...........it's a shame your parents didn't think the same !

Hi,

I am Daves wife (the one currently carrying our first child) and have just come to look at my e-mail and found this......I am totally gob smacked and disgusted at the response to this post.

You must be a very bitter person to respond in such a way, and calling myself and my husband scum for deciding to have children and for asking what we are rightfully entitled to claim back from the tax man is just plain wrong......

I am not explaining myself or our situation to you as you obviously would not understand and are not worth the time, but i find your response very upsetting at such a wonderful time.

It's just a game to him Libby don't take it to heart. Congratulations on your impending parenthood believe me they will be the happiest days of your life.

P.s sociopath, there are two esses in dissuade.

Congrates on your news. Hope all goes well.

I thought I had explained myself perfectly clearly. You are only scum if you claim. Therefore don't.

So dry your your eyes and chill your hormones!

druddle

Well sociopath I think your black/white view of the world is interesting. I take offence to being called scum but to be honest i wont be losing any sleep over it.

Am i right to assume that you will never be filling in a tax return to claim anything back, getting a free bus pass when you are an OAP or getting free prescriptions, and all those other things you are entitled to. Oh and also you will never use NHS doctors or services, and you will pay for everything ?

I am bored of wasting my brain energy on replying to you so this it the last reply i will give you.

You obviously have little understanding of how UK PLC's pyramid scheme works.... YOU are currently paying for today's pensioners (and all the other ****ing scum who can't be arsed to work). Todays children will be paying for YOUR pension (if NL haven't abolished it by then).

I agree that working people should not be claiming benefits.... tell it to Gordon effin Brown, he's the one that's decided higher rate taxpayers (who by his definition should be well off) can also be benefit claimants

I claimed every penny I could get personally as I see that I get precious little else out of this country yet contribute to a frightening degree. I would much rather just pay less tax and use my own money to bring up my children but that option isn't on the table.

You will be glad to know that we no longer qualify for this benefit tho' as I earn too much

PS to the new parents: don't count your child tax credit chickens too early.... it's double for the kiddies first year, so get ready for the drop when they turn 1!

Jonto

So, if someone approached you and said here is some free money you would say no?

Congratulations

Working families tax credit is paid out on a sliding scale so you'll get nowt at a combined salary of about 50k

Childcare vouchers can be banked in advance and are deducted at the top line ( as a salary sacrifice ) which is valuable if you pay any 40% tax and are planning to use a nursery/childminder . Ask HR what the firm's policy is.

Child allowance is paid automatically, if you can afford it then bung it in a savings account to offset some of the university tuition fees you may have to spring for....

Inland Revenue website has all the guff. Dole scroungers get plenty. Work for a living , pay your taxes and you'll get sod all back.

So you think that the government takes all your taxes and puts them in to a little box marked "B9GLY" until you retire and then hands it back out to you? Wow, that's naive.

I really don't think that it's me that needs to grow up, hey?

Someone needs to breed if the species is to continue (debatable premise) and somebody bred to provide you with the ability to type ****e into this forum so dont go on about paying for your own kids. I suppose all the momeny that would be saved by doing away with the benefits system totally could provide you with lower taxes to spend on more gadgets for your bedroom in your mums house.

We dont get much off the government for ours, family allowance and the Child Tax credit I have given up on, they paid us way to much and then took it back, now I dont fill the form in, not worth having to explain every penny of everything to the Inland Revenue for 50 quid a month, all they are doing is using it as a vehicle to gather information about us, so Jenny Ecalir can F*ck off and shove her claim form up her ****.

Are you alright Jacko?

What a shame such a normal, inocent thread got turned into a complete bitching match. CONGRATULATIONS Libby and Dave, i hope all goes well for you, do you know if you are having a boy or a girl?
I know that in the area I work, Surestart offer a grant to families onlow income, but unfortunately I dont know any details of the amounts etc, but it may be worth looking into.

Not surprised some pikey from Harlow knows all about spongin' off the rest of us.

My vote would be to cancel all benefits for everyone. Put the money into "Community Projects" anyone getting off their **** to do something to help the community they live in would get some form of payment, "Employed by the Employed" if you will. Not "Slaves" or "Under Class" as such.

Only the truly afflicted would be exempt - in which case they can be cared for by a community project.

Apart from Harlow


Which should be burnt to the ground.
